Things were indeed the same as Ando Riki expected, and the subsequent attack became extremely difficult.
After Zeng Zhongsheng ordered the first sniper squadron to retreat, he pondered in the command center for a long time, feeling that the enemy situation was generally clear now. The report of each reconnaissance force was very clear. The attack on the front was the Fifth Division of the Japanese army, with the second divisions on both sides respectively.
The 14th Division and its commanded 33rd Division, independent mixed-in-one brigade, independent mixed-in-one 7th Brigade. In this way, the division commander analyzed it correctly before leaving, and the Japanese army in Jinan must have adjusted the guard again
The military forces and the 108th Division are also going out of the city to participate in the war and serve as reserve forces.
With an elite army like the 7th Brigade at hand, I was not afraid of fighting Zeng Zhongsheng. The problem was that the tasks he shouldered limited him. The division commander told him very clearly, pretending to be the main force and leading the Japanese heavy army group to Jiaodong. It would be best to be able to turn Lu.
The main force of the Japanese army in southern Shandong was also led to Jiaodong, allowing the main force to successfully capture Lianyungang and even Xuzhou. As long as this goal is achieved, the Japanese heavy army group will inevitably turn around and move south, and the situation in Shandong will be stable.
To complete this task, we must fight hard with the Japanese army, making the Japanese army mistakenly think that our main force is in Shandong, and we will retreat to Jiaodong without fighting, which will cause the Japanese army to misjudgment and make them concentrate their efforts to fight to Jiaodong.
At that time, the main force of our army was unfolding on the border of Sulu, which was shocking! It was impossible for the Japanese to withdraw their troops without withdrawing their troops.
According to the plan discussed with Liu Yimin, we should concentrate on teaching the main force of the 7th Brigade to launch a fierce battle with the enemy in the Zhoucun area, and at least one day to prevent the Japanese from attacking. Then our army will retreat after voluntarily giving up the position, so that the scene will be performed.
It's true.
But the problem now is that the 5th Division of the Japanese has become smarter. They are no longer attacking several ways, but the entire division is united and takes advantage of the advantages of its motorized division to turn the troops into an iron hedgehog.
If you attack rashly, you will not only get bloody, but also expose the secret that the main force of the instructor is not here. Because of so many battles, the Japanese have already understood the firepower of the instructor's artillery group, which is caused by several instructors.
The artillery group formed. The Seventh Brigade of the Seventh Cultivation Brigade had only one artillery group, which could not deceive the Japanese.
Thinking of this question, Zeng Zhongsheng couldn't help but sigh that the Japanese are so fucking cunning nowadays. They are no longer the Japanese in the past! The Japanese in the past are extremely arrogant. More than a dozen people dare to occupy a county town, and one brigade dares to pursue the national army and one division.
.The current Japanese have suffered too much in the hands of the instructor and have long become frightened rabbits. From senior commanders to squad leader, they are afraid that they will fall into the trap of the Eighth Route Army if they are not careful. If they want to be fooled, they are indeed
It's a bit difficult.
Seeing Zeng Zhongsheng's hard work thinking about the map, Deputy Chief of Staff Guo Huaruo said: "Chief of Staff, the current posture of the Fifth Division is a bit like an iron barrel, and it is very afraid of people when it rolls. The Second Division and the Tenth Division who follow it
The Fourth Division followed suit and became an iron barrel. In this way, if we were caught up by them, we would be crushed to pieces. But this also has an advantage. Their attack speed is slow and it is impossible for them to no longer be
If we play some roundabout tricks, we don’t have to worry about the problem of cutting off the back path.”
Tan Zheng, who was standing aside, said in a muffled voice: "Old Guo said it a bit simple. The Japanese can't figure out our reality now, and are afraid that there is a big trap waiting for them, so they dare not interject. I heard that the division commander
It was said at the combat meeting of the Hebei-Shandong border encirclement and annihilation of the 10th Division, which was the best at circumcision and night attacks, and was surprisingly bold. The 14th Division was also not vague. Last time, it was a thousand miles away.
Feng, the battle was very beautiful. If we hadn't started the Battle of Central Shandong, Kaifeng and Zhengzhou would have been all Japanese. Even the Fifth Division in front of us would be amazing. Half of the division dared to challenge the 100,000 army.
The defense of Xinkou. The reason why their 21st Brigade was completely wiped out by our army was because they didn't expect that the Chinese army would dare to take their ideas, so they relaxed their vigilance, and my instructor
The skill level is surprisingly high. One is that the trap has been dug, and the other is that we are not alert. In this case, we succeeded with one blow. If we let them open fire, even if our army wins, we want to wipe out their entire life.
It is absolutely impossible. How can a man catch up with a tank? I want me to tell you, once the Japanese army understands our reality, they will immediately change their tactics, quickly break through the two wings, and surround our army."
Chen Dayong laughed: "Political Commissar Tan is right. In any case, the Japanese cannot understand our intentions. They must always think that we are the main force of the division to block and lure the enemy troops. There is a big trap waiting for them in front of them.
Only in this way can they be transferred from southern Shandong, central Shandong and central Shandong to join the battlefield in central Shandong."
Guo Huaruo looked at the map and said, "I have an idea. Judging from the current enemy situation, the Japanese army is afraid of our attacks and acts cautiously. They cannot attack and advance overnight at night, and they will inevitably set up camp and defend. In this way, we will have a chance.
, pull up the artillery regiment, rocket launcher, artillery brigade to strengthen our war defense artillery company, the Flying Thunder Cannon Battalion and the Air Defense Brigade to strengthen our Air Defense Second Regiment, first use the Flying Thunder Cannon Battalion to approach the bombardment, and wait for the Japanese to be in chaos,
Concentrate the firepower of the artillery regiment to carry out saturation strikes on the enemy. If the Japanese tanks pursue, we will use rocket launchers and 37mm war defense cannons to attack the enemy tank armored vehicles. If it goes well, we will wave the main force of the 7th Brigade to defeat part of the Japanese, force them to retreat, and let them go
The Japanese were even more timid and made their offense more careful tomorrow than today. In this way, we could complete the task of staying on the front line of Zhoucun for one day. Then evacuate while the night was dark."
After Guo Huaruo finished speaking, several people looked at Zeng Zhongsheng and waited for him to make a decision.
Zeng Zhongsheng pondered for a while and said, "Tonight we must launch an attack on the enemy, and this opportunity cannot be missed. However, the Japanese army's firepower is much stronger than ours. When attacked, the Japanese army will inevitably concentrate on artillery fire to retaliate, and the Japanese tanks will not pursue them.
The Fifth Division, the Second Division, and the 14th Division are all very powerful. With our 7th Brigade, it is impossible for us to defeat any of them. Maybe we would steal chickens and lose a handful of rice. In this way,
I would like to make a suggestion for everyone to discuss this. This night attack is like this. First, our Liujiaolai Independent Regiment is to stick to the front line of Zhoucun and strictly prevent the Japanese from attacking at night. Second, we will teach the artillery regiment, teach the 19th Regiment, teach the 20th Regiment, teach the 20th Regiment, teach the 20th Regiment, teach the artillery regiment, teach the 19th Regiment, teach the 20th Regiment, teach the 20th Regiment, teach the 20th Regiment, teach the 20th Regiment, teach the 20th Regiment, teach the 20th Regiment, teach the 20th Regiment, teach the 20th Regiment, teach the 20th Regiment, teach the 20th Regiment, teach the 20th Regiment, teach the 20th Regiment, teach the 20th Regiment,
The 21st Regiment, the New Seventh Regiment, and the Supplementary Regiment moved rapidly to the south of the road overnight. According to reconnaissance, the 14th Division of the Japanese Army commanded the 33rd Division as the right wing of the Japanese army. Their location should be southwest of Zhangqiu County tonight.
, Advance with the 14th Division. What we want to strike is the 33rd Division. This is a new division. Once our army concentrates its strength, it will inevitably be defeated. We only defeat it and let it pour into the 14th
The division position is just. The third is to protect the rocket launcher and the second air defense regiment, the combat artillery company, and the flying thunder cannon battalion attacked the fifth division of the Japanese at night, with the focus on creating chaos and harassing the Japanese. In this way, the Japanese will
They think there is a trap in front and the main force of our army is behind, so they will be more cautious. After completing the task, all units must withdraw before dawn to prepare for tomorrow's blocking battle."
After Zeng Zhongsheng proposed this plan, several people thought about it and felt that it was basically feasible. Finally, they decided to temporarily organize the 7th Brigade Engineer Battalion and the Guard Battalion. The command of Shi Ran, the director of the Political Department of the 7th Brigade, all of which were transferred to the north of the road.
, harassing the Second Division and the Independent Mixed First Brigade, and the Independent Mixed Seventh Brigade. The main force of the 7th Brigade who went to Lunan to attack the 33rd Division was commanded by Chen Dayong and political commissar Liu Yi, and has been transferred to
The first sniper squadron in Lunan cooperated with the main operation to expand the results of the battle. The cavalry battalion, thunder artillery battalion, war defense artillery company and rocket launcher combat team of the 7th Brigade were commanded by Li Deguang, chief of staff of the 7th Brigade.
After the plan was determined, Zeng Zhongsheng immediately issued an order to make preparations and start acting as soon as the sun sets. At one o'clock in the night, three directions were fired at the same time.
Ando Riki led the Fifth Division to rest in Zhangqiu County and surrounding villages for a short time, so he began to continue attacking eastward.
At this time, the Japanese army's journey of suffering began. On the front of the Japanese marching team, small Eighth Route Army troops continued to detonate electric explosive packs and exploded cars. Several tanks were even inexplicably blown up by landmines.
Ando Riki is a little disbelief. The chariot is a powerful weapon for the Imperial Army to deal with the Chinese army. It is invincible. How could it be destroyed by the landmines of the Eighth Route Army? He went to check it out in person. The chariot was indeed bombed by the landmines of the Eighth Route Army.
Bad. Ando Rikitomi was puzzled. The Great Japanese Empire had not yet developed landmines that could blow up bad chariots. Where did the Tuoba Route learn the technology, it was even more advanced than the Great Japanese Empire. It was simply inexplicable!
What upset Ando Riki the most was that the Eighth Route Army snipers appeared again on the right wing of the army, silently reaping the lives of the Imperial Army soldiers like ghosts. Especially the artillery soldiers of the field artillery corps, they all rode horses or took cannons.
The car moved forward, and now it was a target. Those hateful snipers, one shot and one shot, were accurate, and they were still firing at a distance of 500 meters. Due to the lack of gunfire, they could not find their exact location.
, the shelling effect was very poor. In desperation, Ando Riki ordered a squadron of chariots to drive out these snipers. The result was that these Eighth Route Army snipers were equipped with a cannon that could destroy the chariots, and they shot the chariots with one shot.
It's explosive, and there's no possibility of repair.
After finally passing Puji, I went to the front line of Wangcun. Seeing that it was not very early, Ando Riki no longer refused to move forward and ordered the troops to camp on the spot, build positions based on the corps, make fires and cook, and tomorrow
Take an attack.
It was really hard for Ando Riki. Such an elite field motorized division as the Fifth Division could actually participate in the race against the turtle. If Seishiro Itagaki knew about it, he would be so angry that he would have to have a caesarean section again!
When the severance of advancement, the Eighth Route Army snipers stuck again. The soldiers standing guard and the soldiers patrolling often fell silently. A Japanese squad leader was stimulated and was in a state of nerves. He actually commanded the entire squad to rush forward with bayonets.
As a result, the time didn't take long, and a terrible silence appeared around.
The Japanese were angry and embarrassed, and concentrated the artillery fire of the entire division to aim at the place where the entire Japanese squad was wiped out. It was quiet now, and the snipers of the Eighth Route Army stopped firing. The Japanese army dispatched tanks, and the armored vehicles were all attacked by the infantry squad.
The battlefield of Jordan was repeatedly searched, and except for finding some leaflets of the Eighth Route Army, only the Japanese artillery shell craters were left on the battlefield.
The Eighth Route Army's leaflets were quickly searched by Japanese officers at all levels, because what they said was that encourage Japanese soldiers to kill officers and receive awards. If the soldiers knew about it, they might be like the Second Division.
There was a scandal of soldiers shooting an officer!
The Japanese artillery commander had to find Ando Riki. Because along the way, there were artillery fire attacks, and the shells were consumed too quickly. If this continued, we had to consider how to replenish the ammunition.
Ando Rikihi is a senior general and has a clear understanding of Japan's economy and arms production capacity. He knows that if all troops use ammunition like this, the domestic economy will be dragged down. But he has no choice. Wasting some shells is better than sacrificing imperial soldiers.
Life is much more cost-effective!
Therefore, Lieutenant General Ando patiently told his artillery commander that the North China Front Command could ask for the replenishment of shells, the more the better. There are so many arms factories in Japan, so just let them produce more.
After saying that, I felt a little deceiving myself, Ando Riki smiled and patted his artillery commander on the shoulder, telling him that he must carry out firepower when fighting with the Eighth Route Army instructor. He asked him to communicate more with the baggage corps and try to get from the Second Army as much as possible.
The logistics department and the logistics department of the North China Front Army should focus more shells and have the idea to ensure combat needs.
After the artillery commander left, Ando Takiyoshi sent a report to the commander of the 2nd Division, Lieutenant General Okamura Nagato and Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, the commander of the 14th Division, urging them to act quickly, move closer to the 5th Division, and establish
Contact and protect the two wings of the Fifth Division.
After finishing his work, Ando Rikihi sat down and began to write a marching diary.
In the diary, Ando Riki wrote: "The Eighth Route Army instructor we face is a mysterious force. This force is different from any Chinese force. In addition to the achievements and tactics, this force actually has it.
Snipers, and they use sniper rifles equipped with silencers. This unit also uses a mine that can blow up combat vehicles. As far as I know, no other country in the world has developed and developed such mines. In addition,
, The cannon used by this army is very terrible, and it can tear the Imperial Army's chariots apart with just one shot. I guess the reason why the 21st Division was broken must be inseparable from this cannon. I really want to completely eliminate it.
This army solved these mysteries in my heart.”
After writing the diary, Ando Riki inspected the troops' defense line and then had a meal and rested.
Before Liu Yimin led the main force south, considering that the Ludong Group must face the elite Japanese division, the Japanese had many tanks and armored vehicles, and the Luzhong, Qinghe and Jiaolai were all plain areas, suitable for the Japanese mechanized troops to fight.
The 7th Brigade has no shortage of other weapons, but it is that it has too few weapons specifically for dealing with Japanese tanks. It has transferred the Second Air Defense Regiment to Zeng Zhongsheng for command. First, it can defend air and cover the battlefield at critical moments. Second, it can use anti-aircraft cannons, anti-aircraft machine guns have a long range and great power.
The characteristics of the attacks on Japanese tanks, armored vehicles, and cars. Later, I was worried about it, so I drew a battalion from the Flying Thunder Cannon Regiment to assist the 7th Brigade in the city defense. Finally, Liu Yimin remembered the twelve gates he had brought back from Qingdao.
The war defense artillery was organized into the war defense artillery company by Li Chang. This guy was the anti-tank artillery company of this era, so he allocated all this company to Zeng Zhongsheng.
Liu Yimin made such a deployment so that if the Ludong Group meets the Japanese Second Division or the Fifth Division, it will have the power to fight back.
After receiving the order to command the troops to attack the Fifth Division, Li Deguang asked the investigators sent by the reconnaissance company to closely monitor the movements of the Fifth Division. After the Fifth Division was camped, Li Deguang led the troops to set off.
The Fifth Division has a huge force and has camped around the villages in front, back and forth in Wangcun. The weather is hot now, so I don’t have to worry about having no place to sleep. I just find a wooden board or a piece of cloth, and find a straw mat to put it on the ground.
, you can lie down and sleep. However, the Japanese soldiers have good conditions and even set up a tent in the wild. Although it is a little hot, it can avoid mosquito bites.
Taking advantage of the night cover, Li Deguang led his troops to touch the defense line of the Fifth Division under the guidance of the scouts.
When Li Deguang arrived here, he realized that Zeng Zhongsheng and his team had taken it for granted. Because the Fifth Division had quickly built positions and were connected with trenches. Tanks, armored vehicles, and cars were protected in the defense circles of each team, and wanted to let them go.
Each rocket launcher team scrambled into the attack, without any door. Not to mention that they were all artillerymen, even the special war brigade led by Li Lingfeng was not allowed here. Because this was the war period, the Japanese were extremely vigilant and fundamentally
It is impossible to get close to the Japanese position, let alone get in.
It is not possible to use anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to attack Japanese tanks, but armored vehicles are not allowed, because the defense of the Fifth Division is definitely first-class. Even if you don’t know the exact location of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, how can you attack?
Since this is the case, Li Deguang must adjust his combat plan. He chose Lijiazhuang as the attack point, which should be the campsite of a Japanese corps. Outside the village, there were tents everywhere, and the periphery was connected by Japanese trenches.
Position. The Japanese set up a diesel generator on the position and a searchlight to illuminate the shooting range.
Li Deguang ordered the Second Air Defense Regiment, the Battle Armored Cannon Company and the Bazooka Team to establish positions five miles away from Lijiazhuang, and prepare to ambush the Japanese pursuers' tanks and armored vehicles. If the Japanese do not pursue them, there would be no way, he could not waste precious things.
The shells were used to make unnecessary attacks. Then they ordered the Cavalry Battalion of the 7th Brigade to cover the Flying Thunder Cannon Battalion to attack the Japanese positions and strive to lure the enemy to pursue them.
